Presence+ network
Communities that send people to you, with the history attached.
Presence+ is a network of parishes, campuses and community groups, started with Divine Mercy University. In each one, trained listeners and companions help people early. When a need is clinical, they step the person up to a licensed clinician. A Mindspirit practice can be that clinician.
The four steps
People move up and down by their own feedback, not by diagnosis alone.
Every helper is trained in when to refer.
1
Companions: friends and neighbors who invite and walk alongside
2
Trained listeners, pastors and unpaid guides
3
Paid coaches and spiritual guides
4
Licensed clinicians: you
For your practice
What a referral from the network looks like
It arrives with consent
The person agrees to share before anything moves. You receive the intake they completed, a short note from the community coordinator on what has been tried, and their outcome scores to date.
It arrives warm
A listener who knows the person made the referral and stays in touch, with the person's permission. First-session no-shows are the quiet cost of cold referrals; this is the opposite of cold.
It has somewhere to go afterward
When therapy ends, the person can step back down to a listener, a group or a course instead of being discharged into nothing. Their ORS keeps following them, and you can see it if they come back.
Honest expectations
It is early, and we will not promise you a volume.
Communities are joining now. The honest pitch is the shape of the thing, not a number.
One in four people who seek help for a mental disorder go to clergy first, more than go to psychiatrists. Parishes, campuses and community groups are already where people turn. The network gives those places trained helpers, a referral path, and a way to measure what happens. Your listing puts your practice at the end of that path for the communities near you.
On the walk-through we will show you which communities are live in your area today. If there are none yet, we will tell you that, and the rest of Mindspirit still has to earn its place on its own.
Your listing
How to be found
Listing is included in every plan. You control what is shown.
- Specialties, populations, languages, insurance accepted, and whether you want faith-integrated referrals, secular referrals, or both.
- Which communities can see you: all in the network, only those you name, or only those a coordinator invites you to.
- Availability, so coordinators do not send people to a full practice. The network's response target is eight hours; you set yours.
